Anyone who has played Dwarf Fortress will know that it's usually unwise to get to 0 idlers. In cases of sieges or megabeasts, you need some first responders ready and not exhausted/occupied with other things. I wonder if this happens with ants. The idlers eat less food and can just store the energy. When a colony starts to run out, just send out half of those idlers in different directions to scavenge.
- louhike 11y agoYes, you will have to use this tactic for a lot of games (guards in Prison Architect, soldiers in Age Of Empires who need to stay in the base, even when you're attacking, etc.). The only problem for the ants is if they have to feed those idlers.
